Even with fresh bearings etc, cones only one place in the country stock it would be a touch on the sealed options.
A sealed wheel starts from £60. Replace the bearings much less frequently and have a better product.
I’m just not a looseball fan, I just see poor economics. You can’t replace the cup, so unless you are constantly servicing it then you are fighting a loosing battle.
Buy a sealed bearing front wheel, never have this conversation again. You will just piss your cash into the wind!
